1. A 1000-year record of winter precipitation from northwestern New Mexico, USA: a reconstruction from tree-rings and its relation to El Niño and the Southern Oscillation

Author:

Subject:
El Nino; atmospheric precipitation; cold season; drought; growth rings; models; spectral analysis; variance; winter; Colorado; New Mexico
Abstract:
... A 1000-year reconstruction of winter (cool season) November-May precipitation for northern New Mexico is developed for AD 985-1970 based on six millenium-long tree-ring records from moisture-sensitive coniferous sites in New Mexico and southern Colorado. Two of the most prolonged and severe droughts occurred during the last 100 years: in the AD 1890s-1904 and the AD 1950s-early 1960s. These were e ...

Abstract:
... Fire history reconstructions from fire scars in tree rings have been valuable for assessing fire regime changes and their climatic controls. It has been asserted, however, that these two- to four-century long records from the western USA are unrepresentative of longer periods of the Holocene and are of limited use for understanding current or future fire regimes. The Medieval Climate Anomaly (800– ...

Abstract:
... Organic cotton production requires alternatives to havest aid chemicals for crop termination and fiber quality preservation. In these trials, a self-propelled two-row thermal defoliation apparatus was tested in spindle picked and stripper harvested cotton. HVI classing data for thermal, chemical, and untreated control plots were compared. Fiber property data from similar trials in 2002 were presen ...

APEX (Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender) is an oft-used agroecosystem model but has limited use in groundwater-driven watersheds due to a simplistic representation of groundwater processes. This paper presents the linkage of APEX and the groundwater flow model MODFLOW into a single modeling code. The mapping of recharge, groundwater head, and groundwater-surface water interactions are han ...

Precipitation variability and shrub encroachment in response to global environmental change are likely to affect both richness and aboveground net primary production (ANPP) of annual plants in arid and semi-arid ecosystems in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, especially given the grazing history and desertification potential of this aridland region. Using a nine-year dataset (1999–2007), we examined ...
